Grants to support innovative food defense projects by state, local, and tribal agencies will be awarded by the FDA. The agency will provide approximately $240,000 in direct plus indirect costs in fiscal year 2008, making six awards for up to $40,000 per award/per year. The FDA has adopted three broad food defense strategies: (1) awareness of the greatest vulnerabilities, to protect the food supply from intentional contamination; (2) response, to develop a rapid coordinated response to a foodborne terrorist attack; and (3) recovery, to coordinate a rapid recovery from a foodborne terrorist attack.
